Will There Be No Punishment For The Plot Against Trump And American Democracy?

A majority of Americans believe their government is corrupt and rigged, with the federal case against Donald Trump for conspiracy and obstruction charges to overturn his loss of the 2020 presidential election almost certainly. The potential charges against Trump and his allies might include solicitation and conspiracy to commit election fraud, intentional interference with the performance of elections, and determining if Trump and Trumpism have run afoul of America’s democratic system and rule.

The current front-runner in the Republican primary is due to be notified of his indictment for conspiracy on Thursday in Washington. The grand jury handed up the indictment this afternoon, charging Trump with conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, and other charges. The numbers are so high because Trump and his allies inside and outside of government endorsed these election fraud conspiracy theories.

Trump v. United States calls upon the U.S. Supreme Court to decide upon the future on presidential immunity. A jury will decide if a group of Trump supporters violated state and federal law when they allegedly harassed a Biden campaign bus on a Texas highway in 2020. This week’s indictment details how Trump and his co-conspirators tried to destroy American democracy by creating empty replicas of its election results.

A conjoint experiment shows that Republican voters reward politicians who perpetuate the lie, giving Republican candidates an incentive to continue doing so. A state case regarding attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results has the capacity to shake up the former president’s party and make it more likely that Donald Trump’s GOP is better positioned to subvert the next election.
